The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.I will call upon the Lord , who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my
enemies. Psalms 18: 2-3
Meditation:
In the lush, verdant expanses of Uganda, I've witnessed the unfolding of divine faithfulness. Over seven years of missionary service have painted my life with aweāa tapestry of trust in the One who holds all things together. Amidst this journey, my family has walked the winding path of adoption, pursuing the addition of a precious little girl to our home. This odyssey has stretched us, tested us, and often felt like an unending series of hurdles. Yet, it is in these very moments of delay and unpredicted tribulation that our faith is refined.
The Lord beckons us to a steadfast gaze upon His character, inviting us to know Him beyond the surface. Within the sacred text, we find the portrayal of our God as an unwavering Rock, an impenetrable Fortress, a mighty Deliverer, and our protective Shield. Embracing these truths, we can weather the storm of uncertainty and find solace in His promises.
Let us draw near, sisters in faith, to the heart of Jesus. Let us immerse ourselves in His presence, discovering the depth of His love and the peace that transcends life's tumult. In the quiet sanctuary of His embrace, we become acquainted with the Divineālearning to live from a place of unwavering trust, regardless of the challenges we face.
Pray:
Oh Precious Savior, in the stillness of this moment, I come before You with a heart hungry for Your Word. Grant me the grace to carve out sacred time, immersing myself in the scriptures, that I may intimately know You. In every season, through every trial, may Your eternal truths be the bedrock upon which I stand. Let my life echo the rhythms of Your grace, so that, anchored in the knowledge of who You are, I may rise above the transient waves of this world. I seek to draw closer to You, to know You more deeply, and to reflect Your love in all I do. I lay this prayer at Your feet, in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
